your cell phones.

Well, I would,

but the phone company

beat me to it. Ha-ha-ha.

We take these, right?

Yes, that's for you.

Would you like a cocktail

before the ceremony?

What are these?

This one's called the Josh.

It's ginger beer

and small-batch whiskey.

And this one is the Emily.

It's kind of a playful take

on a kir royal.

For free? Yes.

I probably shouldn't.

I think me

and my small-batch whiskey

are gonna go try and find

the little boy's room. You okay?

Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah?

Linda.

- Linda! Ha-ha-ha.

- Oh, hi.

Oma!

How are you? Oh.

Oh, I like you, you know?

Even though you ran off

on my son.

Oh. I always liked you too, oma.

Ha, ha. Between you and me,

I don't like Peter's new wife.

Peter and Maureen are happy.

Maybe now.

It's only been a few weeks.

No, it's been many, many years.

Oh?

I've been looking for you.

Why don't we go

find our seat, okay?

Jeff. Will you show oma

to her seat?

Thanks. Jeff will take you.

Take care. Hi, oma.

Come on, let's go sit down.

Hi. Uh, hi.

Hi.

I'm very busy right now, so I...

Yeah, sure. Big...

Huge day for you.

But we'll, uh... yeah.

Oma, are you comfortable?

Thanks. Thank you. That's her.

That's Linda.

She's not even sitting

with the family.

So here we are, gathered here.

This big tree over us

and the roots beneath us.

I can't think of a better place

to do this

than out here in mother nature.

And now we can open

the wedding ceremony.

Go ahead.

Oh. Don't.

Don't. Don't run away.

Walk on.

Mom. I'm so glad you're here.

I didn't know

if you were gonna make it.

Yeah. Greg pawned his Gibson sg.

Oh.

Hi, Josh. Hey.

- Wow. Heh.

- Yeah.

Well, we got your rsvps so late.

We couldn't really move things

around with the hall,

so, um, I hope you guys

don't mind

sitting with Emily's cousins

and, like, our harpist.

Heh, heh. Ha-ha-ha.

No, not at all.

We'd love to learn

some harp licks.

Okay, bye.

Yeah, bye.

It really means a lot to me

that you came, mom.

Hi, we're the bremen quintet.

Congratulations, Josh and Emily.

Bye.

Congratulations. Hi.

So whatever table we're at,

- that's the cool table, okay?

- Oh, yeah.

Ooh. There's Adam.

He's a sharp dresser.

Come on, go say hi. Mm...

Come on.

Adam.

Hi, mom. Hey.

Um, Desmond, this is

my mother, Linda.

- A pleasure.

- Hi.

I see where Adam

gets his cheekbones.

We are seeing each other.

Oh, that's... That's wonderful.

Thanks.

Adam, I'm so glad

you met someone.

Particularly someone

so handsome.

This is Greg, my boyfriend.

Adam.

- Hello.

- Desmond, hey.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, groovy tie, Greg.

You're probably

too young for this,

but have you heard of Bruce Lee?

Of course I've heard

of Bruce Lee. He's the man.

Yeah, you look just like him.

Thanks. Not at all.

Not even a little.

You're not even Chinese.

Bruce Lee wasn't Chinese.

He was born in San Francisco.

- Mm-hm.

- Huh. Oh.

Hope you have a nice time

and enjoy your vegan meal.

Ha-ha-ha. Thank you.

I'm a team member

at total foods.

- Oh, I love total foods.

- Ha-ha-ha.

All you boys do. Ha-ha-ha.

Okay, she has got to be

heavily medicated.

I like her.

Cut.

Yeah!

Here we go.

Aw...

And how did you meet the groom?

Oh. Caesarean section.

Budapest, actually.

Yeah. It's gonna be,

like, I don't know...

We need to... we need to go.

Okay.

All right, folks.

Pete, it... it's time. Oh.

Your toast.

Hm. Well, um...

Good luck.

Well...

All right, speech.

Thanks.

Hello, everybody. Ahem.

Yeah. Hi.

I'm, uh...

I'm Rick...

I'm, heh, Linda brummel,

mother of the groom.

And I remember some of you

from years ago.

And it's nice to see...

Nice to see you again.

Um, yeah, at first,

I didn't know...

Whoo. Heh, heh.

What to give Josh and Emily,

you know, as a gift.

Not only because I don't have

any money, heh, heh, but...

But, ahem, also because there's

so much I haven't given them.

I was never a traditional mom,

right? Ha-ha-ha.

Um, so I won't be

a traditional mother-in-law.

I hope. Ha-ha-ha.

So I realized the only thing

I have to give

Josh and Emily

is the only thing i...

I have to give anyone.

I was never much

of a housekeeper

or a cook.

Ha, ha. Right? Ha-ha-ha.

But I am a musician, you know?

That's all I am.

And that's what I have to give,

so I would like to give

all I have to my...

My son and his beautiful wife...

Right now.

Boys, you can come out.

Oh. I wanna thank

my children's other mother...

For everything.

- Oh, god.

- What happened?

It's okay.

Josh, who are they?

I think that's the flash.

I usually have

a way cooler guitar.

This is a tune

by Bruce Springsteen.

And this is for Josh and Emily.

One, two.

I'm just gonna... No.

Well, I was...

Do something. Heh.

I think we gotta go up there.

What about our first dance?

We'll do what we rehearsed.

Not the right song.

Not even close.

We'll be all right.

And it's too damn fast.

- Aah!

- Come on.

Whoo!

One more.

Takes a cold one to know one

this is not the time

to pick a fuss, not a row
